Timothy Zahn is undoubtedly one of the most important names in the world of Star Wars novels. Zahn’s original Thrawn trilogy of books helped birth the Expanded Universe in the early ’90s<\/a>, and he’s continued to chart the character’s course even in Disney’s new Star Wars timeline. That’s why it’s a little surreal to learn that Zahn is now crossing that pop culture divide and making his way to the Star Trek franchise.<\/p>\n

IDW Publishing revealed at NYCC that Zahn is penning a new graphic novel called Star Trek: Roc’s Egg. The book is illustrated by Star Trek veteran \u00c1ngel Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

This new graphic novel takes place on the iconic Deep Space 9 station, as the Federation launches an investigation into the destruction of a valuable artifact and uncovers a larger conspiracy. Here’s the official summary for the book:<\/p>\n

Something is rotten on Deep Space 9.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When a mysterious artifact known as a Roc\u2019s Egg arrives on the station\u2014and is seemingly destroyed in transit\u2014a Federation JAG investigation is called in to uncover what really happened. But the deeper the team digs, the stranger the mystery becomes: a secret auction, a station full of wealthy collectors and dangerous criminals, a priceless artifact that may not be what it seems, and a murder waiting to happen.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From acclaimed author Timothy Zahn and artist \u00c1ngel Hern\u00e1ndez comes Star Trek: Roc\u2019s Egg, a twisty new mystery set aboard Deep Space 9 where everyone has something to hide\u2014and the truth may be more valuable than the treasure itself.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMy association with Star Trek goes all the way back to 1966 and the original TV series. Now, after sixty years, I\u2019ve been given the chance to add my own small grace note to that rich and vibrant symphony,\u201d said Zahn in a statement. \u201cThis is a huge honor and privilege, and one which I will always cherish.\u201d<\/p>\n
